5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, Old timer Investor Masterpiece!, December 4, 2007

By	Erik "Easy" (Raleigh, NC) - See all my reviews

What a great, great book! I don't usually leave reviews, but I am something of an investing book guru, because I own dang near all of them. In the past year or so I've read 12 "penny stock" books and (while this isn't entirely all about penny stocks) this the best one hands down. Aside from being an entertaining read, this book is filled with information regarding sectors I never thought about for penny stocks. This book is worth whatever I paid for it just for his one single penny stock strategy. Let alone he gives his whole investment strategy is this 100 or so page book. I enjoyed reading this book and wish the author would write more, because his hatred for the wall street hypocrit/coward nearly matches mine.

5.0 out of 5 stars FORTY YEARS A SPECULATOR, April 13, 2009

By	ukxgerard (Singapore) - See all my reviews

Fred Carach speaks from the weight of experience gained from the
school of hard knocks. As a futures and options trader myself with
twenty years in the industry, even from a brief reading it's readily
apparent that the author truly knows his craft -- the business of
small cap investing within the natural resource sector.

His trading style and philosophy are completely unorthodox (a big plus
point in my book). His views on technical analysis, stop-loss orders
and other conventional Wall Street wisdom surely would have him
condemned for heresy, however, I suspect the author would feel such a
charge be considered a badge of honour.

This book is full of common sense and a distillation of wonderful
investment stories. I can highly recommend it.
